i have these error one time, i think i make wipe data and flash zip and it pass throught that error 7.
 
dont do wipe cache, data and system.
do only wipe data and flash zip, with me it works.
i think i take a note of it, when i arrive at my home i check my notes.
do only wipe data and flash zip.
 
I see my notes, make this, i hope it can fixes your problem.

Try to boot in recovery, wipe (data,...) and reboot in recovery (without installing anything) when you rebooted, flash miui without wiping.
 
The way I did update (and a pretty safe way to do it) was:

first of all copy the versions 5.12.17, 6.2.18, 6.2.25 and 6.3.17 to your device.

1. update to 5.12.17 twice to merge your partitions. ( Marshmellow ROMS don't fit on small partitions)
when you flashed it 2x your partition has become 1.2 Gb (you can chheck that with any disk info app.
2. Then via updater app, update 6.2.18, let it boot (this can take a while, but no worries).
Update all your apps because you are now on a higher version than you came from.
Reboot again and if you want to, wipe your data (is not necessary).
3. Via updater app, flash 6.2.25. This will replace your MI recovery for TWRP.
This will also take a longer time , but again....no worries :)
4. When your phone has been fully rebooted, go to updater app again and select "reboot into recovery".
You will see that it will boot into TWRP recovery.
5. In TWRP recovery select install, and then select 6.3.17 to flash it.
After it's flashed, you can do a whipe Data, Cache and Dalvik , this also isn't really necessary, but it isn't a bad option eihter .

If everything went well (and why shouldn't it) you are on 6.3.17

Now you can flash SuperSU on your device to get root. To do this, reboot into recovery and install SuperSU

you are wrong in step 2. What was the original rom? Stable or developer?

I had the same problem, but had stable rom installed, so I went to install the rom 7.1.3.0
 
This error 7 appear me when i go from cm13 to xiaomi.eu weekly, i do that process and fix my problem after try lots of things.

I only try to help ok?

May be your error is not exactly as mine i don't know, my problem is error 7 too.
